Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroscience has provided tools and techniques to directly investigate the cognitive processes and neural mechanisms underlying cognitive aging. This has allowed researchers to test their theories of how the brain changes with age and how these changes affect cognitive abilities. However, neuroscience has not yet found a cure for Alzheimer's disease, shown how to reverse cognitive decline, or eliminated free radicals.
